In his sermon "Charitable Deeds," part of his ongoing series on the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Micah Stephens preaches from the book of Matthew, cautioning that charitable acts cannot simultaneously seek human applause and divine approval—they are mutually exclusive pursuits. He challenges believers to examine their motives: are their good deeds performed with theatrical flair for public recognition, or quietly to reflect glory to God? Stephens warns against virtue signaling, a trap not limited to the political left but prevalent among Christians too, urging vigilance against the deception that earthly praise equates to God’s pleasure. He encourages striving for heavenly rewards, not self-congratulation, so that God alone may judge and affirm us with a "well done," keeping eternity as the focus of our actions.
